One month in, feel fantastic, bees flourishing!



Recommended Posts

I think my subject line says it all!!! Today marks my one month band to sleeve revision. I could not feel better. I was 177.4 on surgery day and today I'm 162.2. Yippee!!!!!!! I have about 20 more pounds to go. I know the hard part is ahead but boy, do I feel awesome. For some reason the surgery has given me an extreme burst of energy- I haven't felt this good in years. I've been working my bees and just found out they are doing so well I had to add a top box today. Yey!!!

So my lovely girls are growing, I'm getting smaller, it's spring in the South and life could not be better. Just wanted to share and wish everyone a great day and best of luck with their journey.

Oh!!! I should add that this weekend I'm going on a overnight kayaking trip down the Peace River to look for fossils with my 12 year old daughter. I haven't slept in a tent in over 15 years... I must be crazy. So if you don't hear from me after Monday... I have fallen prey to a gator or exhaustion. I'm telling you, this surgery has made me (crazy) superwoman.

I hope it lasts!!! ;)

Ahhhhhhhhh trust me. I would rather spend Saturday sleeping in, then heading out for a mani/pedi followed by a trip to Sephora, maybe Barnes and Noble, ending with a nice glass of white wine on a deck somewhere.

I promised my daughter we would do this trip when I felt good enough to do so. I thought that wouldn't be until the Fall and I could wiggle out of it saying too much going on. Well doncha know this kid and the rest of the family has been observing, in shock and awe as I have torn around this house full of energy. (Sneaky over observant people- pfft)

My evil husband smiled at me the other night and said "I'll get the tent out of the shed. You and Maddie are taking a little trip."

So that's it. I've been sold out by my own hubby. Him and my son have already said they are looking forward to a relaxing, QUIET weekend.

HUMPH.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
